BRANSON, Mo. – A Cox Medical Center Shockwave Lithotripsy Specialist uses a machine that blasts kidney, ureter and bladder stones away on a non-human patient, a serval cat.
According to a post from the Cox Medical Center Branson Facebook page, Don Wilson has been a part of the urology program with CoxHealth for more than two decades. He is an expert on a shockwave lithotripsy machine that sends 40,000 volts of energy through water to show the stone into sand-sized pieces, which allows the patients to pass through urine.
